The U.S. Military Just Attached a Laser Weapon to an Apache Gunship
*Robert Beckhusen* *Security, * Raytheon tests helicopter-borne laser pod. The thrust of the U.S. military’s laser weapon tests have focused on the sea, on land and aboard fixed-wing aircraft. You need a lot of power to generate a beam capable of burning through a target, which limits where you can stick a laser. But they can work on helicopters, too. Raytheon recently tested a high-energy laser weapon attached to an AH-64 Apache helicopter gunship Raytheon claims it’s the first time a “fully integrated” laser weapon system—specifically, integrated with Raytheon’s Multi-Spectral... more »

The U.S. Military Needs More Laser Rockets
*Kris Osborn* *Security, * U.S. Air Force weapons loaders say the current rotation of attacks against ISIS, from this past January forward, has generated fast-growing demand for more APKWS rockets. *Unlike 100-pound, tank-killing Hellfire Missiles, APKWS rockets are well suited to attack smaller targets, such as groups of ISIS fighters.

"Everything..."
"Everything ends, and Everything matters. Everything matters not in spite of the end of you and all that you love, but because of it. Everything is all you've got…and after Everything is nothing. So you were wise to welcome Everything, the good and the bad alike, and cling to it all. Gather it in. Seek the meaning in sorrow and don't ever turn away, not once, from here until the end. Because it is all the same, it is all unfathomable, and it is all infinitely preferable to the one dreadful alternative." - Ron Currie Jr.
"My Interest..."
"For me the world is weird because it is stupendous, awesome, mysterious, unfathomable; my interest has been to convince you that you must assume responsibility for being here, in this marvelous world, in this marvelous desert, in this marvelous time. I want to convince you that you must learn to make every act count, since you are going to be here for only a short while, in fact, too short for witnessing all the marvels of it." - Carlos Castaneda

TEPCO is Spraying Unit 1 With Device
I've posted quite a bit in the past about the various devices TEPCO drops into Fukushima Daiichi unit 1 (e.g., see a clear view of device here and discussion here). The device being used today in Unit 1 is deployed by TEPCO when atmospheric emissions start looking worse, as they have the last few days. You can see the crane dropping the device in unit 1 in this screenshot with the TEPCO time stamp of June 27 13:04: The device is a bit clearer in this cropped and enlarged section from the screenshot above.

Don't Buy Into The Idea That Trumpcare Is Too Horrible To Pass-- That's Not Criteria Republicans Use
George Stephanopoulos had two very different Senate Republican opponents of TrumpCare on his show Sunday, Susan Collins (R-ME), who finds the bill cruel and even draconian, and Rand Paul (R-KY), who doesn’t find it nearly draconian or cruel enough. He started with Rand Paul, pointing out to him that his position is at odds even with Señor Trumpanzee, who said the bill that bears his name should “have more heart.” Paul scoffed and ran off in directions unrelated to the debate outside of the one in his own head. Well, you know, the fundamental flaw of Obamacare was that it added re... more »

Is Nancy Pelosi worth the trouble?
Kathryn L. Pearson, Associate Professor of Political Science, University of Minnesota at Politics + Society – The Conversation - 1 day ago
A recent poll found Nancy Pelosi's favorability at 39 percent – about on par with Trump's REUTERS/Yuri Gripas Democrats in Congress are struggling to keep up a unified front. As the minority party, Democrats have spent the past six months standing by, mostly powerless, as President Donald Trump has made haphazard progress toward dismantling many of former President Barack Obama’s key accomplishments. Last week the party suffered another blow: a bitter defeat in a special election in Georgia’s Sixth Congressional District. That made four special elections – out of four – they have lo... more »

The U.S. Air Force's Stealth F-22 Raptor Will Fly Until 2060
*Dave Majumdar* *Security, * We asked the air force the important questions: how? The United States Air Force is planning to keep the Lockheed Martin F-22A Raptor in service though 2060. To that end, the service is funding a series of upgrades that will keep the powerful fifth-generation air superiority relevant for decades to come.
